Dudes in the Everglades

On Sunday, April 7th, Florida will celebrate its first official “Everglades Day.” Established by the Florida Legislature, Everglades Day honors South Florida’s unique wetland ecosystem, the wild inhabitants who live there and all the passionate Floridians working to conserve this magical place. JJ traveled down to the Glades for a week to film the spots for PBS.

“It was a week of sweat, mud, guano, more mud and salt water. I loved it.” Recounted JJ after returning home.

As a tribute, WLRN will run a month-long TV and radio series entitled, “Guardians of the Everglades” which will profile people from a variety of different backgrounds but who are bound by a common desire to save our state’s national treasure for future generations.

These Guardians include an energetic conservationist working with roseate spoonbills in Florida Bay, a worldly environmentalist with a passion for parks, a dedicated water expert focused on Everglades restoration projects and an airboat guide with a unique take on what makes the Everglades special.
